  • • My Notes

      • Very #Cool
        • 11:20 the electronics are resampling violin, but they sound almost like Instrument/Melodica
        • 11:22 now it is almost like Instrument/Organ or Instrument/Reed. visuals are circles cmyk style or rgb
        • 11:25 a bit like Person/Steve Reich now - I like how hte circles give a "mental model" of the tracking
• ICMC/25/d2/1100 Concert n05/03 Dynamic itineraries (originally first)

• ICMC/25/d2/1100 Concert n05/04 Hybris

  • • My Notes

      • 11:38 compelling soundscape - I mean To Listen Again. We have at least four channels here, I didn't realize yesterday
      • space changes in jump cuts
      • fields of blurs - clocks, whirring, more of the deep bass pulsing in and out
      • the stage is dimmed with purple and pink light, ... is this the color of electronic music?
• ICMC/25/d2/1100 Concert n05/05 Spectre

  • • My Notes

      • 11:46 fantastic piano performance, extremely compelling!
      • melodic at times, imaginative and yet experimental and real.
      • uses large iPad for the through-composed score
      • extremely #Cool
      • reminds me of ... some piano concerto ... which one?
      • 11:49 extra piano techniques I've never seen before - rubbing thumb under keys in a glissando motion!! ... it gets mic'd - where?? it's picked up by the room -
      • Muisc/Fixed Media?
• ICMC/25/d2/1100 Concert n05/06 Self-Censorship

  • • My Notes

      • 11:54 tons of reverb. we have dissolving screen stuff with people holding a finger in front of a mouth
      • echoes, crashes
      • powerful, well-performed #Violin ! some of the lines remind me of Person/John Adams/Violin Concerto
